Types of Residential On-Site Storage

In today’s world, most people have more items than they know what to do with. Families rent storage space just to have enough room for the new items they want to buy. People are not forced to store their items in a rental facility. For the price you would pay over a long period of time, you may be able to benefit from residential on-site storage.

Garage

One of the most common residential on-site storage would be the garage. Many residents build a free-standing garage or a garage that connects to the house. Garages not only increase the value of the home, but also provide a great deal of space for storage.

Shed

Sheds can be built or purchased pre-made. Go to your local hardware store to see the various sizes, styles and prices of residential sheds. To find a hardware store in your area, browse the communities of MerchantCircle.

Portable Storage Containers, Trailers and Offices

These containers look very similar to a train car or mobile home, depending on the manufacturer. Some have windows and others do not. You can choose the size and amenities that will fit your needs. These portable storage containers do not have to be moved off the property; however, if you should need to move the storage area elsewhere, it is a simple process. Companies such as PODS and Mobile Attic provide different sized portable containers. You can leave them on-site as long as you need, as long as you continue to pay the rental fee. You may be able to purchase these units for permanent residential storage.

Trailer Trucks

Depending on the local laws in your area, you may be able to use a trailer truck as a form of on-site storage. A trailer truck is large enough to store anything you may need to keep safe for a long period of time.
